Choosing A Website Company

You’re a small business owner in Michigan and you know you need a website. You don’t have the time, knowledge, or interest to do it yourself.

You’re not a Fortune 500 company, so you can’t afford a cost-is-no-object solution, and you can’t afford to get it wrong.

How do you decide which Website Solutions Provider is right for you? How do you go about choosing a website company for your small business needs?

Too Hot?

Lots of companies that have websites now have been around since before the Web, back when the only options for advertising your company were print, radio, and TV. So when those companies started finding their way onto the Web, traditional advertising agencies tried to get on board by offering website services.

This seemed to be a natural extension of the marketing and design services that they had been offering all along, and it was, including their premium fee and rate structure that can burn through your advertising budget in no time.

And ad agencies are often weak in the technical and programming side, so if you hire one to design a slick and flashy websites for you, and you might get burned by having a site that doesn’t run as smoothly as it should.

Too Cold?

The Internet started as an academic exercise to create an information sharing network among research universities and the military industrial complex. As the scope and appeal of the Internet widened, a lot of the tech-savvy people who helped design and build it started their own companies to provide connectivity services for that growing base.

As customers demanded more Web services, many of these providers expanded into website design. But their workforce was, and often still is, primarily techs and programmers—people who have little or no experience in the warm and fuzzy world of design and marketing.

So where can you find the perfect combination of technical capability, marketing knowledge and design expertise to help you create a web presence that does the job and fits your budget?
